$$\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2+2cosx}}(270°<x<360°)$$$$2{cos}^2\alpha =1+cos2\alpha$$$$=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{4{cos}^2\left(\frac{1}{2}x\right)}}$$$$=\sqrt{2+\mid 2cos\left(\frac{1}{2}x\right)\mid }$$$$135°<\frac{1}{2}x<180°\Rightarrow cos\left(\frac{1}{2}x\right)<0$$$$=\sqrt{2-2cos\left(\frac{1}{2}x\right)}$$$$2{sin}^2\alpha =1-cos2\alpha$$$$=\sqrt{4{sin}^2\left(\frac{1}{4}x\right)}$$$$=\mid 2sin\left(\frac{1}{4}x\right)\mid$$$$67.5°<\frac{1}{4}x<90°\Rightarrow sin\left(\frac{1}{4}x\right)>0$$$$=2sin\frac{1}{4}x$$
